On-Scene Safety Simplified
Total Visibility with Forward Thinking Systems IntelliHub®
When responding to roadway incidents, a drivers training is vital for the safety of first responders and the motorists around them. First responders undergo safety training for all types of emergencies getting to the incident and then onto the healthcare facility for emergency care. In addition to training, fleet management systems are able to improve response efficiency and create a safer working environment where passing motorists pose significant risk.
With a fleet management system, agencies are better positioned to reduce and prevent the likelihood of accidents involving first responders. Real-time vehicle insights, driver behavior monitoring, and activity history empower teams to make better on-scene decisions while gaining valuable data for long-term safety improvements. NEWCOM, an authorized partner of Forward Thinking Systems, works with agencies to seamlessly integrate management solutions to boost overall efficiency and safety across operations.

Statewide Activity at a Glance
Through the state of Maine EMS Connectivity Project, Maine EMS will integrate this vehicle location and fleet management system to aid in improved response positioning and route optimization statewide. Over time, the data collected and visualized in real-time can be analyzed to identify trends, predict future needs, and continuously improve EMS response strategies.
Enhanced Situational Awareness
GPS systems provide precise geolocation data, enabling dispatchers to alert responders to high-risk areas, such as highways or blind curves, where passing motorists may have limited visibility.
Real-time traffic monitoring helps first responders anticipate high-speed or dense traffic conditions near the incident site.
Safer Navigation
Route optimization ensures emergency vehicles approach the incident from the safest direction, avoiding abrupt stops or roadside hazards that could put responders at risk.
Pre-Planned Safety Zones
Dispatchers can use GPS to guide responders in setting up safe staging areas, ensuring vehicles are positioned strategically to create protective barriers against traffic.
Data for Risk Reduction
GPS data can analyze patterns in responder incidents, helping agencies identify and mitigate recurring hazards, like specific traffic behaviors or dangerous locations.
